Giuliani, maybe, but not Sor. He published his Fantaisie opus 7 on two staves, with an Avertissement at the beginning to explain why this was so much better than using a single treble-clef stave.
Although he abandoned the attempt for his other 62 opuses (opera?), I think he was absolutely right. The music is much clearer like this.

Sorry, but I disagree. Transcribing Kapsperger's music on two staves makes as much sense as putting pieces by Giuliani, Tarrega or Villa-Lobos onto two staves. As you point out, though, this incredibly wasteful use of paper is still the standard in academic circles. -- References 1. mailto:[email protected] 2. mailto:[email protected] To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
